How do you begin to create a home for a runaway child?

Moving, heartfelt and inspirational, The Girl in the Dark is an emotional memoir from Sunday Times bestselling author and devoted foster carer Angela Hart.

Melissa is a sweet-natured girl with a disturbing habit of running away. After she’s picked up by the police for mixing with the wrong crowd, Social Services beg Angela to take her in. But can she keep the testing twelve-year-old safe? And will she ever learn what, or who, has driven Melissa to run and hide, sometimes in the dead of night?

Follow Angela on her determined quest to help Melissa conquer her demons. A remarkable true story, The Girl in the Dark is a testament to the power of quiet care, a watchful eye and sympathetic ear.
